The Craft Brasserie Does Summerlicious in Liberty Village

One of our favourite times of summer is when the semi-annual dining event, Summerlicious, comes around! More than 220 restaurants and eateries are participating in this throughout the city. Bent, Bloom, Canoe, Kasa Moto, La Societe, Momofuku, Parts & Labour and Wish are just a handful of wonderful places joining in on the Summerlicious fun. It is exciting to also note that Liberty Village’s own, The Craft Brasserie, has both a lunch and dinner menu available for the event!

What’s the Hype?

Since 2003, when the event initially began, it has helped create awareness and exposure for many businesses. During the first year, 35 eateries took part, and it has now since quadrupled with over 200 participating. The City of Toronto are the organizers of this event, helping to generate millions of dollars in economic development for the restaurant industry. Non-chain restaurants are invited to participate in the semi-annual two week event, based on various criteria including: adhering to certain price standards, having a clear health inspection record, and positive testimonials.

Lunch and Dinner at The Craft Brasserie

The Craft Brasserie offers a three course lunch menu priced at $18 per person and a three course dinner menu at $28. Choose an appetizer, a main and then a dessert. The shrimp guacamole and the lumpia spring rolls are always a crowd favourite to start off a meal. Their main dishes are scrumptious so anything that is chosen is sure to be great. A few different sandwiches are offered like The Cuban Stack, the Mushroom Truffle Burger and the Craft Classic Burger. If something a little lighter is preferred, then the Spicy Mushroom Flatbread or the Baked Ore & Cheese are excellent choices. Dessert is served with a choice of either Strawberry Rhubarb Tart, Chocolate Candied Donuts or the White Chocolate Brownie.

It was a pleasure to deal with Michael Camber. Michael’s advertising strategy, including the advice of his staging team, attracted a great deal of interest.

Sara was great and I firmly believe that we achieved one of the best deals possible in this market. She took the time to go back and forth with the other agent to make the offer as good as it could possibly get.
In addition, she demonstrated a high level of experience and up-to-date real estate knowledge by also protecting me from faulty clauses within the purchase agreement. She is not just an agent that wants to rush a deal through and get paid as soon as possible. I appreciate that and I am so very pleased with the end result.

Michael has been my realtor since 2013. I originally hired him to find tenants for my rental property in Liberty Village and he educated me on the most important aspects of identifying prospective tenants. He is very knowledgeable regarding the condo market in Toronto and specifically Liberty Village.
I decided to list my condo this summer (2018) and because of my trust in Michael and his proven track record, I did not hesitate to sign with him and have him handle the sale of my property. Michael provided staging services and made the condo look like a million bucks.
He made the process smooth and worry free and had the property sold quickly and for top dollar.

Michael is true professional. He is the best guy for selling a condo Down Town Toronto especially Liberty village. I was in touch with him for more than a year to sell me condo in Liberty Village and always got right advice with no pressure selling of any kind.
